An Amazing & Delightfully Heartfelt Story & Listen

It is great to be back in Baker’s Creek and spend some time with Aldridge brothers and their ever-growing family. Each book in the series features a different brother and stands on it own but I highly recommend reading and/or listening to them in order written, not only are they all great books but characters crossover into each other’s books and it is beneficial to know their backstory and seeing them again is like seeing old friends. This book is Mills and Hadley’s story, Mills is the hockey player out with an injury and a single father of an adorable son, Arden. His team, the Vancouver Orcas, released him from his contract, but he does not think hockey is over for him just yet. His injury is healing thanks to his brother Hayes, the surgeon, and he is contemplating his next move. But he is stuck in Baker’s Creek for now and is making the best of it and, along with his brothers, is trying to bring the town back to its glory. But with everyone busy, they need help, but because of their father’s stipulations, it limited them with what they can do. Hadley was not a fan of small town life and could not get out of Baker’s Creek fast enough, she landed a job in the city and is the social media director for a professional hockey team and lives downtown in an apartment with her boyfriend, Randall whose family owns the Denver Troopers. But everything changes in a blink of an eye when he catches Randall in a compromising position with his ex, she put her social media skills to work before storming out of this office though. So it is back to Baker’s Creek for her and moving back in with her parents who own the town’s bakery. Mills and Hadley’s path cross in the park and there is an instant attraction and a connection, and I loved Arden’s initial reaction to her, he is a smart kid. Mills and Hadley form a bond and he convinces the others she is the perfect fit to help watch their kids and they work out deals to help her family with their bakery. I loved how everything played out in this book, it is a wonderfully written and plotted story with plenty of drama, witty dialogue, charming humor, heartfelt emotions, and a lovely romance. Claudia Burgoa, thank you for another fabulous story, the laughs and the emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 And for the wonderful narration, Jason Clarke and Stella Hunter knock it out of the park portraying these characters and bringing them to life and their natural talent truly shined. They knew who each character was, chose a voice that fit that character’s persona and were believable in every role they played. Stella Hunter nailed it as Hadley grasped all sides of her personality, and Jason Clarke did the same for Mills, they were fabulous performing the roles of the secondary characters as well. You could hear how much heart they put into their work as they captured the character’s emotions and projected them into their performance. They set the perfect tone for the story, handled the witty dialogue with ease and landed the humor effortlessly. These talented and versatile voice artists are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another amazing listen.
